... Sen. JD Vance was booed by firefighters at a convention Thursday as he attempted to woo one of the country's biggest unions. ...

When Vance said that he and Trump were "proud to be the most pro-worker and union Republican ticket in history", his comments were met with more boos.

Walz, a union member himself, has said that he and Vice President Kamala Harris will fight to protect the fire fighter's benefits, compensation and safe working conditions. As a governor, Walz said he bolstered resources for fire fighter training and education.

"This is going to impact you," Walz said. "These are things that matter to us. Some of you in here, I know what you're thinking. When Republicans used to talk about freedom, they meant it. Not anymore. They want government to invade every part of our life, from our union halls to schools." ...

fwiw, Gov Walz got a standing ovation from the crowd.

From www.theguardian.com at The Guardian:

In 2015, Upton told New York magazine that some college baseball players later taunted her cruelly at a party, and someone even mailed her a note telling her to "go die for [her] stupidity". She described how the harassment plunged her into a depression and prompted her to have suicidal thoughts.

But she said support from her family as well as other loved ones helped her to overcome the ordeal as she pursued a real estate career and became a mother of two children.

Upton in the interim also reportedly posted online about her support for Donald Trump's presidency, including his lies that voting fraudsters unduly orchestrated his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

She had mostly faded from the public consciousness when Trump's running mate thrust her back into it Thursday, shortly before CNN aired Harris's first news network interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. Vance's X account republished a video clip of Upton's infamous 2007 remarks along with the caption, "BREAKING: I have gotten ahold of the full Kamala Harris CNN interview."

Upton on Friday made clear that she did not appreciate Vance's post.
